Through his re-dating of the Great Sphinx, confirmed by the discovery of Göbekli Tepe site in Turkey, Dr. Schoch has established that advanced peoples inhabited our planet 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age.

But one day in circa 9700 BCE these sophisticated civilizations disappeared in a flash.

Why? A reinterpretation of the mysterious Rongorongo Texts of Easter Island, connecting the message of the glyphs to cutting-edge research in plasma physics, combined with a plethora of geological data, reveals the answer. Tremendous solar eruptions were to blame with pockets of survivors escaping by literally going underground. Humanity was thrown into a solar-induced dark age (SIDA) which lasted thousands of years before the re-emergence of civilization circa 4000 to 3000 BCE.

Plato’s legend of Atlantis and many other ancient myths are confirmed

Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., a full-time faculty member at Boston University’s College of General Studies and director of its Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization, earned his doctorate in geology and geophysics at Yale University. Dr. Schoch has reached audiences around the world via television, radio, live presentations, and the Internet. The Mystery of the Sphinx, which first aired on NBC, remains a favorite. His numerous publications include the popular books Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future and Origins of the Sphinx (with Robert Bauval).
